Export Office docs as PDF and have it indexable by SP

Hi there...this is somewhat of a hybrid question between Adobe Acrobat and SP.....I'm taking a stab at this forum first...
Long story short, we have a publishing server that converts office documents to PDF using Adobe Acrobat X as the engine that does the PDFing.
Note: PDF mimetype is added and iFilter is in place and working.
We've noticed that the contents of the PDFs created in this manner are not being indexed by SP and thus not searchable.
Yet, if we take the same excel file and just use the out of the box (Office) "save as" PDF, the document is indexed and the contents are searchable.
But when we do the "Save as" adobe pdf (which uses adobe as the engine), it's not.
I believe this is probably a configuration in Acrobat that I can simply switch on/off, but I can't find any documentation that really relates it to SharePoint indexing. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Eric

Hi Eric,
According to your description, my understanding is that the converted PDF file could not crawled in SharePoint 2010.
Please go the Crawl log to check whether there are some errors for your content source.
Make sure your search service account has proper permissions on the Adobe Filter binary folder.
Please check if the link is useful:

If this issue still exists, please install SP1 or the latest CU for SharePoint 2010, compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,
Wendy

Hit command tab and swtich to the Finder, under the Apple menu is Force Quit, do that to the program that is causing your "hang" and restart the program and what you were doing.
If you didn't save your file beforehand, then your going to have to make it again.

I have been given a 28 page Pdf and have been asked to optimize the item to reduce the file size. Can this be done in Photoshop Elements? if so how?

I am using a Mac and just bought Photoshop Elements 13. I have been given a 28 page Pdf and have been asked to optimize the item to reduce the file size. Can this be done in Photoshop Elements? if so how?

No the pages will open as separate documents in Expert Mode. You really need Acrobat or possibly you could copy and paste the contents into MS word. Then re-save as PDF.

Nobody get back to me on my other question, so I'm going to try again. I am making a PowerPoint for a meeting and I want to take a 3D PDF and have it spin or rotate on a continuous loop. How can I accomplish this?

Please ignore PowerPoint comment, I can make the 3D PDF no problem with my converter plug-in for AutoCAD. Once it is made though you can spin it by hand/mouse in Adobe. but I want a video like scene with the object spinning by itself for modeling purposes?

So the report just only export pdf only or excel only.

How do I copy a document from pages into email (not pdf) and have color and format the same as the document created in pages?

How do I copy an entire document from pages into email (not pdf) and have color and format the same as the document created in pages?

Pages ’09 v4.3 and Pages v5.2.2 are entirely different document architectures. Consequently, copying and pasting a table from Pages ’09 circumvents the customary translation process that would occur if you opened that Pages ’09 document in Pages v5.
Make a backup copy of the Pages ’09 document that has the table in it, and then open this document in Pages v5.2.2. The table is translated into Pages v5 document format and displayed correctly. You can even select this Pages v5.2.2 table, and then copy/paste it into another Pages v5.2.2 document with accurate results.

How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder

How to export iPhoto Album in iMAC and have similar folder structure(with Timestamps) which can be viewed in finder
In simple terms, I wanted to view the photos in Windows system, similar strcture of iPhotos

If you want to copy all of your photos to a Windows machine and have them in folders representing the iPhoto Events the were in quickly and easily just do the following:
1 - open the library with the Finder as shown in this screenshot:
2 - COPY the Originals/Masters folder to the Desktop.
3 - copy the Originals/Masters folder to the Windows machine.
This will give you all of your original image file in their Event folder on the Windows machine.
NOTE: With iPhoto 8 or newer the Event folders in the Masters folder will be titled by date (EXIF) if imported from a camera. If imported from a folder the event folder will have the same title as the source folder. If imported singularly or in a group without a folder the title will be a date, either the EXIF date or import date.
With iPhoto 7 (08) and earlier the Event folders in the Originals folder will have the same title as the Event has in the library.
This method would be quicker but not provide the additional metadata you might have added in iPhoto like keywords, titles, descriptions that exporting out of iPhoto with Format=JPEG and the checkboxes selected to include keywords, titles, places, etc, checked.

JSP that converts office extensions to pdf and then upload them

Hi there !
Im trying to convert office extensions ( .xls, .ppt, etc) to pdf and then upload the resulting file to a server .
currectly im using the upload solution posted by the user anna_DRA here : http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=672874
and as for the conversion im using a solution which uses OpenOffice's lib to do the conversion.I'm going to post the codes of my JSP and my HTML ( which just contains the form to get the file to be converted and uploaded).
observation: the point which is giving me headaches is how to get the file sent by my form, convert it into a File object, use my conversion tool and then deliver it to my upload tool so it can be stored.... i cant seem to get the File object from the request object ( tried getattribute and it returns null....) .
observation':I do know about and how to use MVC but my boss asked me to make this work with just one JSP or a JSP and a HTML.

try {
    OpenOfficeConnection.connect();
} catch (ConnectException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
File inputFile = new File("C:\\Users\\thiago\\Documents\\"+fileName);
for(int i = 0; i <= fileName.length() - 4; i++){
    String s = ""+fileName.charAt(i);
    newName = newName.concat(s);
File outputFile = new File("C:\\Users\\thiago\\Documents\\"+newName+".pdf");
//convert the spreadsheet
DocumentConverter ExcelToPDFConverter = new OpenOfficeDocumentConverter(OpenOfficeConnection);
ExcelToPDFConverter.convert(inputFile, outputFile);
OpenOfficeConnection.disconnect();Both work just ok when separated but i cant get both to work together....
Any help is much appreciated!!!

Hello TSN,
Test Screen Name wrote:
Picking just one point: PDF -> EPS -> PDF. This could not possibly do more than one page, because EPS is absolutely by definition a single page format. Therefore you must choose a page when exporting PDF to EPS.
Thanks for your response.
I was thinking Microsoft... which has allowed multi-page eps files for years. But you're correct, this is normally an unsupported .eps format.
I solved the problem over the weekend by doing the following:
1) I removed the suspect OTF font family but despite doing so, the folder still had two 'corrupted' but unused copies of an italic font. They refused to remove so I had to boot into Win7 SAFE mode to remove.
2) After complete removal of the OTF font family. I reinstalled the OTF font *BUT* only from a different repository (oddly, this other OTF font set is slightly larger per font).
3) Once installed, I tested with Flare, published and uploaded to Crocodoc SUCCESSFULLY. Yeah!
I don't have anymore time to test but the questions remain, such as, was it one or more of the following issues:
a) Flare has a problem handling some OTF fonts or cannot error correct (the way other programs do) for marginal fonts or font errors?
b) Was it the two corrupted fonts in the Windows/fonts folder?
c) Was it the slightly different OTF fonts that I am no longer using?
Take care

Exporting from InDesign to PDF, and the updated PDF is larger than a month ago and not printing easily on letter paper, it is PDF presets?

Hello,
I am exporting from InDesign to a PDF and the page is larger in the PDF then others I have exported. Is this because of the PDF presents? One of the project managers is not able to print it out on 8.5 x 11 paper, but the document presets for InDesign are the same as before. I wish I could upload the PDFs to show, but the newly exported PDF is larger than the version I created a month ago. I created a PDF binder and the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets. Any thoughts?

I suspect the project manager simply has his/her copy of Reader/Acrobat set to print at actual size, rather than "Fit" (assuming the InDesign page size is truly 8.5 x 11).
..the newly updated PDF is almost a .5 inch wider with the same export presets.
It would have nothing to do with export presets. How are you determining that half-inch difference?

Convert doc to PDF and make it available for workspace

Hi,
is there a way, how to convert a doc file to PDF file and make it available for the workspace (accept - deny scenario)?
Lets say, that I have a contract that has to be approved by my manager. I convert the doc to PDF file and send it to his to-do queue. He than decides if it is a good agreement or bad one.
I see couple of tricks in this. First, the converted file needs to have process fields included, so it has to be a form.
Converted file is a flat PDF. I tried to use DDX to merge flat PDF and form with process fields, however that throwed and error.
Workaround could be creating an envelope saying, hey, look in the attachments section, there is something you need to review.
I can create an attachment in the form with DDX code, however only in the DDX UI interface, for some reason, it wont work in the process in LC.
Also, I have difficulties with routes after user hits the accept, deny buttons in workspace, nothing happens :-(
Could you please give me some advices, what kind of variables I need, what types they should be and how the process should looklike? I want to invoke it over the WSDL so at least one document has to be passed over it. The envelope can be in the resources section in LC (makes sense, but I do not know how to address it in the DDX and afterwards)
Thanks in advance,
H.

Hi Jasmin,
I can add the converted document to PDF as a attachment to the XDP form in the workspace.
I am strugling now with that envelope (the XDP), cant render it to PDF and than workspace enable it. I will have a look around the web because it will be there. One question is can I control permitions on the attachment? I want just read only permitions.
Thanks Jasmin for your continuous help.

Having Problems Converting Word Doc to PDF and Retaining Links

My company recently upgraded company wide to Reader 9 (for Windows). My department develops documentation and we currently use Acrobat Professional 8. Recently we have had several issues where we try to convert a Word 2003 or PowerPoint 2003 doc to PDF with Acrobat Prof 8 and the converted PDF does not retain links when our users open it. The most they get is a information bubble when tehy hover over it that shows the link URL or indocument location, they are unable to seledct the link. Is this a compatability issue between Reader 9 and Acrobat 8 Prof? I have tried everything i know to resolve the issue. Could someone, please offer any helpful info they can? Thanks!

I withdraw the question. The documents we were given were in Mark Up mode on the Word 2003 side of things. We turned it off and it seems to be working fine now.

How to attach files like .doc, .xls, .pdf and so on in Design Editor (WYSIWYG)

Hi,
I want to attach files like .doc, .xls, .pdf. etc in my Design editor, instead of importing those files. Is there any way to do that. Please help.
Thanks,
Vinay Jaassiel Kankipati
Technical Writer

Hi Vinay.
Would these files be editable and if so, where would they reside? If you want people to be able to edit the files, you need to consider where the files are located. If you link directly to a file in RoboHelp, a local copy is copied into your project as a baggage file. If a user then clicks on the link, the local copy is opened and any edits can not be saved back to the WebHelp's output location. However if you were to create an image (like the ones you used above) and added a hyperlink to the file's location - i.e. on a network drive outside the project, this would enable users to edit and save changes to the original file location. Hope this helps.

How do I enter text onto a PDF and have it automatically update in an Indesign file?

I am trying to enter text into an application form and then include the updated application into an extended indesign file. I would like to be able to change elements of the application, which would then automatically update in the Indesign file. I am having trouble doing this.

I received an application in PDF and want to fill it out with my personal text, but I would also like to include supplemental documents with the application and thus have placed the PDF and the other documents it into an Indesign file. If I were to change some portion of the personal text in the PDF, it would be great if it could automatically update in the Indesign file. How else would you suggest I go about doing this?
Thanks!
